Remarks

Removing a pull subscription by using SQL-DMO is a two-step process. The application must remove the subscription at the Subscriber, then separately remove the record of the subscription at the Publisher and Distributor.

To remove a pull subscription to a transactional or snapshot replication publication

  1. Establish a SQLServer object connection to the Subscriber.

  2. Extract the TransPullSubscription object referencing the subscription from the Subscriber TransPullSubscriptions collection.

  3. Use the Remove method of the TransPullSubscription object.

  4. Establish a SQLServer object connection to the Publisher.

  5. Use the DisableTransSubscription method of the ReplicationDatabase object referencing the published database.
